In celebratory mood

I know that my photos don't actually scream "Happy holidays", but Christmas is knocking at our doors, people. Yesterday, at the Mall, 5 out of 10 stores I visited were playing Christmas carols. I turned on my car radio and there she was, Mariah Carey saying all she wanted for Christmas was me... Our city center is also quite festive already, with lights and decorations waiting to be turned on...Last weekend I made cinnamon rolls...And it's only mid November. As holiday signs continued to pop everywhere I went, I couldn't help but wonder: is it a bit early for Christmas? Or is it merely our sweet, always helpful marketing making us understand that the earlier we get out...
